Now the competency of a narrative is how well the narrator does his job. In murder mysteries the narrator has to be mostly invisible (not exist as a character in the story- unless its first person intimate of course) and yet be able to present the clues without to blatantly flagging them as such. In cultural reminiscing, such as in Mark Twain's work, the narrator has to maintain a cultural and character profile, as well as a certain dialect. (Not all reminiscing require a dialect - its just that Mark Twain did). To depart from such at any point in the story shows narrative incompetence.

"The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is a framed narrative (a story within a story) in which Mark Twain intentionally chooses to waste the time of the reader for his own pleasure.

In the story, Twain is irritated that the old man wastes his time, so he writes the story in order to waste the time of you, the reader so that you might feel what it is like to know you've lost moments of your life that you can never get back for absolutely no reason.
